DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new holder device embodying the principles and concepts ofan embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the water bottle holderassembly 10 generally comprises a cylinder 12 that can insertablyreceive a water bottle 14. The water bottle 14 may be a plastic waterbottle that can be purchased at retail stores. The cylinder 12 iscomprised of a light impermeable material to protect the water bottle 14from ultraviolet radiation. In this way the cylinder 12 preservingfreshness of water in the water bottle 14 when the water bottle 14 iskept in a vehicle or other location that is exposed to sunlight. Thecylinder 12 is comprised of a deformable material such as rubber or thelike. Additionally, the cylinder 12 may have a height of at least 8.0inches and a diameter of at least 3.0 inches. In this way the cylinder12 can fit into a cup holder 16 in a vehicle.

The cylinder 12 has a bottom wall 16 and an outer wall 18 extendingupwardly therefrom. The outer wall 18 has a distal edge 20 defining anopening 22 into the cylinder 12 to receive the water bottle 14. Theouter wall 18 has an inset portion 24 that is positioned between thebottom wall 16 and the distal edge 20. Moreover, the inset portion 24 isconcavely arcuate such that the cylinder 12 has an hourglass shape. Inthis way the inset portion 24 abuts the water bottle 14 when the waterbottle 14 is inserted into the cylinder 12.

A lid 26 is provided and the lid 26 is movably attached to the cylinder12. The lid 26 is positionable in a closed position for closing thecylinder 12 and an open position for opening 22 the cylinder 12. The lid26 is comprised of a rigid material such as steel or the like.Additionally, the lid 26 is comprised of a light impermeable material.

The lid 26 has a top wall 28 and a perimeter wall 30 extending awaytherefrom, and the perimeter wall 30 flares outwardly from the top wall28. The perimeter wall 30 has a distal edge 32 with respect to the topwall 28 and the distal edge 32 of the perimeter wall 30 has a groove 34extending inwardly therein. The groove 34 extends around a full diameterof the distal edge 20 of the perimeter wall 30. Moreover, the groove 34insertably receives the distal edge 20 of the outer wall 18 of thecylinder 12 when the lid 26 is positioned in the closed position therebyretaining the lid 26 on the cylinder 12. The perimeter wall 30 has aseries of bends 36 each incorporated into the perimeter wall 30. Thebends 36 are distributed between the distal edge 20 of the perimeterwall 30 the top wall 28 for enhancing the ornamental appearance of thelid 26.

A strap 38 is coupled between the cylinder 12 and the lid 26 for movablyattaching the lid 26 to the cylinder 12. The strap 38 has a first end 40and a second end 42, and the first end 40 is coupled to the outer wall18 of the cylinder 12 at a point located adjacent to the distal edge 20of the outer wall 18. Additionally, the second end 42 is coupled to theperimeter wall 30 of the lid 26 at a point that is located adjacent tothe distal edge 20 of the perimeter wall 30.

In use, the cylinder 12 is positioned in a cup holder 16 in the vehicleand the water bottle 14 is positioned in the cylinder 12. In this waythe water bottle 14 is protected from ultraviolet radiation from the sunthat causes water to lose its fresh taste. Additionally, the lid 26 canbe closed onto cylinder 12 to completely enclose the water bottle 14 forthe ultimate level of protection. The cylinder 12 can additionally becarried while the water bottle 14 is enclosed for transporting the waterbottle 14 outside of the vehicle.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
